wow, wow, and more wow. I just love your mind! I don't know of another who could come up with such an artful piece. It's stunning. I love it. It conjures up Quentin Tarrantinos "Kill Bill" pictures...and the man who made the swords. It is an art, for sure, just as any smithing and poetry is!! Excellent piece.

Incredible! This is probably the most original piece I've read in a long time. Good to see someone still appreciates this kind of thing.

wow - I love the uniqueness of this work! I agree that swordmaking was definitely an art - just like any other. You've literally made a picture of your words; without losing the meaning or unity of those words - excellent job.

This is great, you should enter it in the concrete forms contest if it isn't over yet. I entered one of mine there, Ailurophile. Go over and check out the contest if you haven't entered this there already.
